GoBia Ltd has implemented several initiatives to optimise waste management and reduce waste intensity. The company purchases raw materials in bulk, using tankers to minimise supplier packaging, and reuses supplier pallets for delivering finished goods to European customers. The company segregate food waste from general waste, with food waste being a small percentage of the output, primarily from retained samples, trial work, and office waste.

As a result of these efforts, GoBia Ltd has successfully decreased total waste intensity from 0.025 t/t in 2022 to 0.020 t/t in 2023, surpassing their milestone target by 20.6%. The company continues to use wooden pallets and has implemented practices for reuse and recycling. Additionally, food waste is collected and recycled. The increased processing of cream delivered via tankers has significantly reduced the need for additional packaging, contributing to the overall reduction in waste.
